Mention the church to many people, and a host of unattractive words jump into their minds-words like boredom, irrelevancy, greed, hypocrisy and foolishness. From the towering (but now empty) cathedrals of Europe to the picturesque white church buildings of New England (and Christmas card fame), the church has often been admired more for architecture than for attitude, more for construction than for character, it must make God cry.
This book is written for those who are disciples of Jesus Christ to help us appreciate God's plan for the church and to heed his direction about how to make her glorious. God has cried enough. It is time for the church to want to please him in every way and for the church to have the impact he designed her to have. Absolutely nothing else can make the difference in the world that the glorious church of Jesus Christ can make.
